with the Girl Guides Six hundred and fifty
Brownies, Guides, Rangers and their leaders have gathered in Chelmsford Cathedral for tonight's Songs of Praise. They're celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Girl
Guides Association, which began in controversy but today is a movement with more than eight-and-a-half million members in 108 countries around the world. Sally Magnusson meets
Amanda Webb , a 10-year-old Guide who is the ears and voice of her family, and Irene Hotchin , winner of six medals for Great Britain in the 1984 Disabled Olympics. The Third South Weald
Brownie pack invites Sally to join in the fun and the games and to visit Little
Baddow in Essex for their annual Thinking Day ceremony.
Among the hymns is one written specially for the anniversary: Let's take hands in friendship.
Lord of our growing years (Little Comard); God is love (Theodoric); Far round the world (Woodlands): Jesus good above all other (Quern
Pastores): Unto the hills around me (Alberta): Forth in thy name, 0 Lord I go (Song 34); Let's take hands in friendship
